Back to 1978: Getting rich starts with treasure hunting

"Gu Jiu, get up and help Dabao make milk." In the middle of the night, Lin Shu was awakened by the crying of a baby and pushed the man who was sleeping next to her.

Since being discharged from the hospital and returning home, the mother and the newborn have been staying in the same bedroom and officially started the confinement period.

At the same time, the hellish mode of raising children for couples is also started.

Gu Jiu forced himself to get up from the bed, turned on the night light, changed the diaper for the second baby first, and then handed the crying second baby to Lin Shu to breastfeed.

Then, he turned around to check Dabao's diaper and found that it was not wet, so he quickly picked him up to help him pee. After that, Gu Jiu picked him up and said with a smile: "You can do whatever you want to this kid, he won't cry or make a fuss, it's really worry-free."

"Hurry up and make some milk for him. He hasn't had any milk in almost four hours." Lin Shu looked down at Erbao who was trying hard to drink milk and said with emotion, "Why doesn't this kid want to drink breast milk? They are still young and can still drink breast milk, but he insists on drinking formula."

"Maybe he got used to drinking milk powder when he was in the hospital." Gu Jiu put Dabao down, rubbed his eyes, and started to make milk powder for him.

"I hope we can afford his milk powder."

In this era, milk powder is a scarce nutritional product. It is difficult for ordinary people to buy a few packets of milk powder. Fortunately, several uncles and grandfathers in the family were helpful and brought back a lot of milk powder.

For the time being, it is enough for him to drink alone. But after a month, if the difference between the first and second baby is too big, Lin Shu will still force-feed the first baby with breast milk. She doesn't want to take the twins out with one being chubby and the other being skinny.

When Lin Shu finished feeding, Dabao had almost finished drinking too. They patted the baby's burp and gently put them back into the crib. They turned off the night light and went back to sleep.

Babies in the confinement period need to be fed three or four times a night. In addition, there are no diapers now, so just changing and washing diapers is exhausting.

It's a little better during the day, with family members helping out, but most of the time Gu Jiu and Lin Shu still have to take care of themselves.

Lin Shu felt that the life during the confinement period was just eating, sleeping, and taking care of the baby. A day seemed to pass in the blink of an eye.

During the confinement period, Lin Shu didn't have to worry about the social interactions, as Wang Suzhen was there to take care of them all downstairs. At most, she would greet everyone while holding the twins.

Gu Jiu carried Dabao and Erbao back upstairs, put the two babies back in the crib, took out a few red envelopes from his pocket and handed them to Lin Shu, "The relatives who came this time are from our Gu family, and this is their gift to the babies."

Lin Shu pointed to the drawer of the bedside table and said, "Put it there and count it after you are out of confinement."

With these favors, when relatives have children born in the future, they have to return the favor.

"What time is the train for my mom and her friends?"

"I'll pick them up after nine in the evening. Don't worry about it. I'll arrange it."

At this moment, both babies are not asleep, and their little eyes seem to be observing the environment in the room.

Erbao yawned from time to time and twisted his body from time to time, as if he was stretching.

Gu Jiu was teasing the second child and ignoring the first child.

"Bring Dabao over here." Lin Shu leaned against the head of the bed.

Gu Jiu glanced at Dabao and saw him staring out the window with his head tilted. He smiled and picked him up and gave him to Lin Shu, "This kid is too calm. Try teasing him and see if you can make him cry."

"Are you my biological father?" Lin Shu rolled his eyes at him, took the child and pinched his little face lovingly, "Boy, we meet again."

Gu Jiu didn't take this seriously. After all, it was impossible for mother and son to meet each other all the time, so it was not wrong to say "meet again".

Only Dabao, who was lying in the cradle, knew that Lin Shu's words "We meet again" were a test for him.

He yawned, slowly closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, but babies have limited energy, and he actually fell asleep after pretending to sleep for a while.

Gu Jiu found Erbao fell asleep while playing with her. After covering her with a small blanket, he turned around and asked, "The children have been born for almost ten days. We can't call them Dabao and Erbao anymore. It's time to register them. Have you thought of their names?"

"Let's call the eldest treasure Shaoqin, and you come to take the second treasure."

Lin Shu remembered that his eldest son in his previous life was called Lin Shaoqin. If he was still his eldest son in this life, he would change his surname but not his given name.

"Okay, let's name Shaoqin. I need to think about the second baby's name." Gu Jiu did not decide on the second baby's name immediately.

......

Dabao woke up again, couldn't help yawning, and then stretched his limbs.

The baby's sleep quality is very good. Every time he wakes up, he feels energetic and full of energy.

"Shaoqin, are you awake?"

Dabao's little body stiffened slightly, and his limbs, which had just been half stretched, paused slightly, but he quickly completed the set of movements without leaving any trace, and then looked at her with a pair of ignorant and clear eyes.

"Stop pretending. You can't pretend to have the clear eyes of a baby. You're still a little short of the mark."

Lin Shu had a smug look on his face. He had just taken advantage of the fact that he had just woken up and his mind was still confused to launch a surprise attack, but he didn't expect that he would be exposed as soon as he tried.

Dabao continued to pretend that he didn't understand and looked around the room sideways.

Seeing him pretending to be stupid, Lin Shu chuckled and said, "When babies wake up, they like to hum and beg for milk, and like to chew their fists. They can't control their bowel movements, but you can do it very well, humming to remind us, and you don't chew your fists, let alone breast milk.

Shaoqin, we have been mother and son for a lifetime, I know your little habits too well, don't pretend in front of me, a baby should act like a baby, aren't you tired?"

After saying that, Lin Shu sighed, picked him up and took care of his poop and pee.

After that, I poured some hot water to wash his butt.

Lin Shu: "If you admit that you feel embarrassed to wash your butt, I will let your dad do it."

On the contrary, she would help him bathe and wash his butt every day to see if he would feel embarrassed.

This threat was very effective. After wiping his butt and changing his diaper, Dabao hummed symbolically, which was considered an admission.

"Don't show that helpless expression. I've been worried about you since I was reborn. Now that you're back, I'm relieved, but what about Xiaofen and Mengmeng?"

Dabao's mood became visibly depressed. He is now an infant, and his mother asked these questions deliberately to upset him.

Lin Shu was anxious. Her son was here, but she had no idea how he got there.

"I forgot that you can't speak yet. So tell me if you died of old age? If so, blink."

Dabao blinked.

"It's fine if you die of old age. Children will grow up and have their own lives. Since you started as a baby, just be a baby and don't worry about the children."

"Just lie down and I'll make you some milk. You little brat, it's so good to drink breast milk. It's nutritious and clean. You've developed a picky eating habit after being reborn."

Dabao rolled his eyes. An adult drinking breast milk?

Can you bear to do it?

Lin Shu heard the childish humming behind him, and couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth, "If you are really too hungry, just chew on your little fist. It will take me a while to make the milk."

Dabao raised his hand and looked at the little fist, then gave up decisively. He was not a real baby, so why would he chew it?

"You should lie down more during the confinement period. Your dad always likes to hold the second baby downstairs to show off, so you have to stay in the bedroom with me." Lin Shu prepared the milk, lay back on the bed, leaned against the headboard and held the first baby to feed her.

After Lin Shu finished feeding, she saw that Dabao was still not sleepy, so she held him in one hand and took a newspaper from the bedside table with the other hand and started reading.

In this era, there are limited channels for obtaining information. I cannot always go downstairs to watch TV while I am in confinement. Apart from taking care of the baby to sleep, the only thing I can do to kill some boring time is to read newspapers.

Dabao was lying in my arms, his little head turning around and his little hands trying to grab the newspaper.

"The newspaper is very dirty, don't touch it with your little hands, or you'll put it in your mouth again if your hands get dirty."

Dabao didn't take her words seriously at all and tried hard to grab the newspaper, but it was a pity that he was just born and had no control over himself.

After struggling for a while, he was so tired that he was sweating all over. His energy was almost exhausted and he fell asleep unknowingly.

At night, Lin Shu did not read the newspaper again. Dabao took advantage of his free time before sleeping to tilt his head to look for the afternoon newspaper, but he could not find it after searching for a while.

Gu Jiu didn't know what he was thinking, he just felt that he was very smart and curious about everything around him, so he carried him out of the bedroom.

"Sister is asleep. Since Dabao wants to look around, Daddy will take you downstairs to play with your brothers and sisters, okay?"

Dabao had no objection to being able to walk out of the bedroom. He symbolically stretched out his limbs to express his inner joy.

Seeing how excited he was, Gu Jiu couldn't help but laugh. He said hello to Lin Shu and carried Dabao out of the bedroom.

Wang Suzhen watched Gu Jiu carrying a baby downstairs and asked, "Is Erbao still awake?"

"It's not Erbao, it's Dabao. I don't know what's going on, but this kid is so energetic tonight. His eyes are rolling around, and it seems like he's very interested in everything around him."

Gu Jiu's words aroused the interest of others. When he sat down with the child in his arms, everyone gathered around him.

Dabao opened his eyes wide and tried hard to identify the big heads surrounding him. He looked at this one and that one, making everyone laugh.

"This kid is a smart one."

"With this cleverness, I can tell at a glance that he will be a smart kid when he grows up."

Wang Suzhen and Gu Changsheng's words were recognized by everyone.

Gu Xiang sat back in his original seat and said, "Aren't you going to pick up Dabao's grandmother tonight? I parked the car outside and the key is hanging on the locker."

Gu Jiu nodded: "I understand. I'll just use it tonight so as not to delay your use of the car tomorrow."

Gu Xiang nodded and said nothing.

Sister-in-law He Chunru is about to become a grandmother. Now she loves babies from the bottom of her heart. She took Dabao from Gu Jiu's arms and saw that he didn't cry or make a fuss, but just stared at her curiously.

I couldn't help but smile gently and said, "Dabao, you are watching so seriously, do you know me? I am your aunt. When you came out of the delivery room, the first person to hug you was your grandma, and I was the second person to hug you. Remember me."

Wang Suzhen also came over and saw Dabao grinning at He Chunru, "Hey, Dabao looks so good when he smiles. You won't have trouble finding a wife when you grow up."

"......" Dabao's mouth twitched. He couldn't even take care of himself. It was too early to think about lifelong events!

"Haha..." He Chunru couldn't help laughing: "Mom, this is still a baby, you are worrying about him finding a wife, isn't it too early?"

The others couldn't help but laugh when they heard it.

In fact, everyone is just teasing the children. Adults hold the ignorant babies and like to say something to attract their attention regardless of whether they can understand or not.

Wang Suzhen smiled and said, "What's so early? You still remember when Youhui wore open-crotch pants. In the blink of an eye, he can get married. Maybe in a year or two, you will become a grandmother too."

"Yes, yes, yes." He Chunru looked at Gu Youhui and scolded him with a smile: "Stinky boy, did you hear what your grandma said? Hurry up and find a wife to give me a grandson. Your father and I are waiting to hold our grandchildren."

Gu Youhui glanced at Dabao in the cradle and snorted, "Instead of urging me to get married, you might as well urge Dabao in your arms."

Gu Xiang said unhappily, "Dabao is still a baby, how can you compare yourself with him?"

Gu Youhui said nonchalantly: "He and I are both under the legal age for marriage, so why can't we compete?"

Gu Xiang: “…”

Nonsense!

"Puchi!" Gu Jiu couldn't help laughing: "Brother, sister-in-law, he wants to compete with Dabao, it seems you still have to wait."

Gu Xiang glared at the brat and said, "If Dabao dares to play with his bird, do you dare?"

"Pfft!"

This time, not just one or two people burst out laughing. Everyone present almost choked to death on their own saliva after hearing this.

"......" Gu Youhui's handsome face turned red with embarrassment.

Dabao rolled his eyes in his heart, yawned, and wanted to sleep, but he had to pee first.

Gu Jiu laughed so hard that his stomach hurt. When he heard Dabao groaning, he knew that he either had to pee or poop.

"Sister-in-law, give Dabao to me, he needs to pee."

"Let me do it." He Chunru looked at Dabao in his arms curiously, stood up, picked him up and went to the bathroom.

Gu Zhiyuan: "Sister-in-law is helping Dabao pee, why don't you go and compete with Dabao?"

Gu Youhui turned around and avoided looking at their evil looks.

Gu Jiu coughed twice and said, "Last time I saw Youhui and a lesbian having dinner together in a restaurant. Who is that lesbian? Youhui, are you dating her?"

The other people in the family instantly became interested and looked at Gu Youhui with gossipy expressions.

Gu Youhui looked puzzled and asked blankly: "What lesbian?"

"A few days ago, weren't you eating with a lesbian in the hotel lobby?"

Gu Jiu happened to go to the restaurant to pack up some pork tripe soup that day, and saw Gu Youhui and a female comrade sitting in the lobby drinking, which led him to ask this question.

"Eat?" In order to clear his name, Gu Youhui tried hard to recall what he had done in the past two days.

"You didn't see me having a drink with a lesbian like you?"

Without waiting for Gu Jiu to answer, Gu Youhui sat up straight and explained anxiously: "Don't get me wrong, the female comrade you saw is an old customer of our hotel. She was happy about the bonus that day, so she came to my hotel to reward herself..."

"Anyway, I gave her a bottle of beer to thank her for taking care of my business, and now I have to drink with her. That's what happened, don't get me wrong."

"You are an old customer of your store. Do you like that lesbian?" He Chunru asked after coming back from peeing.

"I don't like it." Gu Youhui shook his head quickly, fearing that he would be forced into a match if he was any later.

"So the lesbian likes you?" He Chunru felt that the lesbian always took care of her son's business, maybe she liked her son.

"Mom, don't make wild guesses. It's not true. We are just ordinary customers." Gu Youhui felt a headache and glared at Gu Jiu, the culprit. "Don't spread this kind of thing. Otherwise, no female comrade will dare to eat in my restaurant in the future."

"Yes, yes, I won't tell anyone." He Chunru certainly knew her limits.
